The all-white albino squirrel was spotted in a snow-covered garden in Edinburgh today.

Experts believe the chances of a squirrel being born completely white are around one in one hundred thousand.

The animals are usually vulnerable to predators as their white coats stand out against their green and brown surroundings most of the year.

The snowfall in the Capital has given this one a rare advantage as it feeds alongside greys.
